It was almost exactly two years ago when Molly Dean and Barbara Jean were in the Radio Heartland studio playing a few tunes as a relatively new duo, Dusty Heart. Spring ahead to now, and Dusty Heart are back in the studio with new tunes from their debut album.

Baltimore-based Letitia VanSant courageously left a comfortable 9-to-5 job to set out on a new career as a singer-songwriter. Her debut album, 'Gut It To The Studs,' has just been released. VanSant and her musical partner David McKindley-Ward were in Minnesota on their most recent road trip and stopped in the Radio Heartland studio for a session hosted by Mike Pengra.

Americana duo the Yellow-Bellied Sapsuckers have a new album on the way, 'Don't Think About Tomorrow Tonight.' In the run-up to the album's release, the Sapsuckers are debuting a new video for the lead single, 'Fools Were Made to Be Broken.' The video was largely shot on location at the Hi-Lo Diner in Minneapolis.
